Dolly Parton's estate says yellow caution tape and barbed wire crisscrossed the steps to her nephew Bryan Seaver's front door as a process server was making repeated attempts to serve him with a lawsuit accusing him of using a "campaign of threats" to "extract money" from the late music icon's business interests.
Lawyers for the estate filed a photo of the alleged barricade as they urged a judge to deny Seaver's request for additional time to find a lawyer in the messy legal dispute. They also argued that Seaver's security company missed a deadline last week to challenge an emergency restraining order granted in the case, so the order should therefore be converted into a permanent injunction covering both the company and Seaver himself, as its chief. A hearing on the matter is set for Friday, Oct. 9, unless the court grants Seaver's request for more time to hire an attorney.

Reba McEntire's desire to protect her hard-earned fortune before tying the knot with fiancé Rex Linn has thrown their long-delayed wedding into further turmoil, a source tells Closer.
"She's a romantic and she's a people pleaser, so her initial reaction was to say she didn't need a prenup because she didn't want to have the awkward conversation with Rex," reveals the source. "Thankfully, she's reconsidered."
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the twice-divorced country music singer, 71, is worth a whopping $95 million thanks to her wildly successful music, TV and film career.
"Rex hasn't made any sort of fuss," the source says of her change of heart. "He totally understands that they are in very different places financially and he wants Reba to feel protected."
That said, "it's not an easy task," notes the source. "They now have to go through all their personal and individual ***** ets with a fine-tooth comb and it's not something that either of them is really relishing doing, so it keeps getting kicked down the road."

Dolly Parton's death at 80 came after a brief battle with cancer, her representatives confirmed to TMZ. The country legend died Tuesday at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, surrounded by people close to her. Her passing still shocked family and friends, who knew she had been ill but believed she would recover.
Dolly Parton had spent four days hospitalized in Nashville before her death following several health problems in recent months. TMZ reported that her condition had worried those around her, yet the final outcome arrived unexpectedly. Her representatives said she devoted her life to spreading "joy, laughter, hope and integrity," while highlighting her charitable work and support for medical research.
Tributes quickly followed. Jane Fonda, Parton's longtime friend and 9 to 5 co-star, remembered her warmly, while Reba McEntire mourned the loss of a friend whose place in music could never be duplicated. McEntire wrote there would "never ever be another" Parton.
President Donald Trump, Celine Dion, Sabrina Carpenter, Barack Obama, Anne Hathaway, and several other celebrities have also paid tribute, sharing heartfelt messages after her family announced her death on social media.
Parton, famously known as the Queen of Country, built far more than a country-music career. She moved from rural Tennessee into the national spotlight through songwriting, recording, and television before becoming a major film star and entrepreneur. Her catalog includes Jolene, 9 to 5, and I Will Always Love You, songs that continued to travel across generations.

Despite the widespread popularity of cellphones, many of Hollywood's biggest stars don't actually own one.
Dolly Parton, for example, is famously only reachable via fax. Fellow country star Reba McEntire explained what it's like to communicate with the "9 to 5" singer in an April 2022 appearance on the Apple Music podcast Southern Accents Radio.
"You don't call Dolly, you fax her," McEntire said. "You fax your people and your people talk to her people. That's the only way I know to get ahold of her."
Other celebrities have chosen to avoid buying a smartphone for reasons ranging from distractibility to a general aversion to all kinds of technology.
Ahead, here are five stars who don't have cellphones.
